Abstract
Background: Cervical
cancer is the 2nd leading cause of female
death. Little is known about cervical
cancer and intraepithelial abnormality
prevalence in Iraq. This study aims to
determine the prevalence of cervical intraepithelial
abnormality and invasive cervical cancer
among Iraqi women.
Patient and methods: A
cross sectional study done in Al-Alwiyaa
Maternity Teaching Hospital, Women cancer
Center. Data was obtained from the patient
records for the years from January 2016-July
2019; information regarding the age and
cytology results of the Pap smear for
each patient were taken. (2,182) patients
were studied.
Results: Abnormal
cervical Pap smear cytology was found
among 1,926 (88.3%), Abnormal intraepithelial
lesion was found among 508 (23.3%) of
total patients; 6 (0.3%) patients had
unsatisfactory smear. Negative for intraepithelial
lesion and malignancy (NILM) was found
among 1,418 (65%), ASCUS 245 (11.2%),
LISL 221 (10.1%), HISL 32(1.5%), Squamous
cell carcinoma 9 (0.4%), Adenocarcinoma
1 (0.04%). The mean age of patients with
NILM was 39.4±10.9, ASCUS 40.5±10.8
, LISL 38.4±11.3, HISL 44.9±12.95,
and squamous cell carcinoma 48±6.6.
Conclusion: Higher
prevalence of cervical intraepithelial
abnormality and invasive squamous cervical
cancer was reported in this study than
in the neighboring countries, giving a
clue to the urgent need for a cervical
cancer screening program.
Key words:
Pap smear, cervical cancer, cervical intraepithelial
abnormality, CIN
